Almost everything seems important. I care about the small things and the big things, the short and the long term, and so on — so my plate is always piled too high. Any tips?<br> <br><strong>🎙<em> Ashutosh's response:<br></em></strong>The reality is you need to do both. But I can find that short-term work and long-term work don’t get along in my mental headspace. That’s why I heavily segment my work days and work weeks.<br><br>Two days of the week are dedicated to short-term problems and other days where I go deep on project work that might not pay off for a long time. I also start each day with an hour of just fielding small, short-term things, then I transition to medium and long-term work. I feel less overwhelmed knowing there’s a slot in each week and each day to take care of those little “work chores” that get done and don’t pile up. Then when I transition to deep work, I can be dead to the world knowing the lights will stay on. <br><br>I’d build your weekly and daily schedule so that you have time to do both kinds of work and pay special attention to putting boundaries on how much short-term work you will do in a week. <br></h3></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="heading_block block-22" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style=""><tbody><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-bottom:5px; padding-top:20px; text-align:center; width:100%"><h2 style="margin:0; color:#555; direction:ltr; font-family:Lato,Tahoma,Verdana,Segoe,sans-serif; font-size:24px; font-weight:700; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:120%; text-align:left; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span class="tinyMce-placeholder"><br>🏆 Sunsama Squad Wins<br><br></span></h2></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="image_block block-23" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style=""><tbody><tr><td class="pad" style="width:100%"><div class="alignment" align="center" style="line-height:10px"><div style="max-width:505px"><img src="https://userimg-assets.customeriomail.com/images/client-env-99697/1705900742094_Twitter%20week%20jan%2022_01HMQSQ5JFVJCG8K5FQW5ETVSJ.png" width="505" style="display:block; height:auto; border:0; width:100%"></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="paragraph_block block-24" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="word-break:break-word"><tbody><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-bottom:5px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px"><div style="color:#555; direction:ltr; font-family:Lato,Tahoma,Verdana,Segoe,sans-serif; font-size:13px; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:0; line-height:120%; text-align:center"><p style="margin:0">Have something to share about Sunsama?
